give me dove's eyes
They say...
Know YOURself.
I do, and sometimes it scares me what i see.
Follow YOUR heart.
I have. And it only got me confused.
Chase YOUR dreams.
I did. Only to find that I was running the rat race the world wants me to run.
But I want to....
Know YOU.
“It’s in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for”. -Ephesians 1:11
Follow YOUR heart.
"Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect." -Romans 12:2
Chase YOUR dreams.
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." -Jeremiah 29:11

A day after talking to a friend about what we're both doing now, how working in a different industry would be more beneficial, what furthering our studies can give us in the future, I came across this today while browsing. My concerns, doubts, worries were answered straight away. It's so easy to lose track sometimes.
When a dove fixes its gaze upon its mate, it is not distracted by any activities around it. Therefore, it is often referred to as being a “love bird.”
Our having this “dove's eye” indicates that we are becoming increasingly aware of the Lord's person and presence, and that we possess a spiritual awareness that will lift us above the pulls of the earthly. This “single eye” will enable us to become sensitive to the Lord's presence, and obedient to His desire and purpose.
The Lord's favor rests upon those who have cultivated a “single eye” toward Him. These can be easily led by Him, for they are close enough to see which way His eye is looking.
